Chapter 354 Scarlet Flame Sword Guard
While Nahazi was speaking, Rennes kept observing in secret with the eyes of the soul.
This centaur chief obviously didn't tell the truth.
The Zhuoken tribe has more than 30,000 centaurs. As long as they are adults, both men and women are brave and good at fighting warriors, at least equivalent to a first-class superman of humanity.
Among them, the best are at level 2 and level 3, and there are also many mid-level centaur warriors.
With the combat effectiveness of the centaur, the tax amount of 200,000 is evenly distributed. Each centaur only needs to pay less than seven golden shields. It may be a bit difficult, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as Haqi said.
He was just asking for benefits under this excuse.
Emilyis has been dealing with the Zhuoken tribe for more than ten years, so she is naturally very clear about this, but now she needs a centaur army to go on a war and cannot refuse.
But we can't agree easily.
She showed a little displeasure on her face and said, "Nah, we have already agreed before that after regaining Congatro, we can draw a territory for the Zoken tribe, and grant you the lord, and use the territory as a backing to help you take the position of Khan. I never ask about the issue of Kas paying taxes to the floating city of Palas, and you need to solve it yourself."
"Yes, Your Highness." Nahaqi smiled bitterly on his long face, "If it was a hundred thousand gold shield, I wouldn't dare to speak to Your Highness, but the taxes have doubled..."
He paused and said meaningfully: "The tribe handed over 200,000 gold shields, which will inevitably affect the weapons and equipment of the tribesmen, and the combat effectiveness will decline. In previous years, we will be able to endure it. But your highness will be regaining Congatro this year. I am afraid that you will delay your highness's plan, so I can only ask for help with shamelessness."
The Centaurus looked like he was completely considering Emilys.
His expression was very earnest.
If it weren't for the Eye of Soul, Renn would have been tricked, thinking that the Zoken tribe was really in trouble.
He thought about it, but did not speak out to expose Nahaqi's scheming.
Now Emilys has something to ask for the Zhuoken tribe, and it is necessary to let them send troops. It is not beneficial to expose Nahazi's lies. Instead, it will intensify the tension between the two sides and affect the cooperative relationship.
Emilys also considered this and could only compromise.
"Okay, let's not be the case." She stared at the Centaurus Chief and asked directly: "What do you need? Money or equipment?"
Nahaqi's eyes flashed with a color of victory that was not easy to detect, and he stretched out three fingers, "Your Highness, can you give the tribe 300,000 golden shields?"
Emilys raised her eyebrows and was about to attack.
The money obviously exceeded her expectations.
The Zhuoken tribe not only transferred the taxes paid to itself, but also demanded an additional 100,000 gold shields. Do you really think that the treasures of the Drogon Castle family are endless?
"Your Highness," Nahazi quickly explained: "I am not talking casually. The soldiers of the tribe really need this money now. First, to calm people's hearts. If someone dies in Congatero, it will be used to comfort their families; second, I am planning to purchase a high-quality scimitar and longbow to enhance the strength of the soldiers and better regain the kingdom for His Highness."
Emilys had a cold face and didn't believe his remarks.
She provides resources to the Zhuoken tribe every year. Over the past ten years, the total amount of golden shields she invested was two or three million.
Without this huge sum of money, there would be no rise of the Zhuoken tribe.
Raise troops for a thousand days, and use troops for a while.
However, when the Zhuoken tribe really needed to provide her with her efforts, Haqi's performance disappointed her and was almost blatantly blackmailing her.
There are not many 300,000 gold shields, and she can easily take them out.
But this money revealed the true face of Nahazi. The loyalty of the past years was just an illusion. The Centaur Chief would never be willing to be inferior to others. He had his own ambitions and ambitions. When the Centaur Army landed on Congatro, she doubted whether she could control them. If she led the wolf into the house, even if Congatro was recovered, there would be endless troubles.
The decision to support the Zhuoken tribe back then seems not very wise now.
Emilis's soul color changed and his mood fluctuated.
Her face was not good-looking either.
Nahazi seemed uneasy on the surface, waiting for Emilys' promise, but in fact he was very calm, obviously confident, knowing that he had to take the other party.
Rennes still didn't speak, and now is not the time to tear off his face.
Emilys also thought through the causes and consequences, and finally agreed, "Okay, I will give you these 300,000 gold shields. But I only have 100,000 gold shields on me now. When your 5,000 centaur warrior arrives at the pier north of Heitoke, the remaining 200,000 gold shields will be handed to you."
The golden shield she carried with her actually had more than 500,000 yuan, but she wouldn't be so stupid that she paid it all.
One must be kept as a precaution.
Nahaqi was stunned for a moment, his soul turned red and flashed, but his face showed a gratitude, and he said in agitation: "Thank you for your support. The centaur soldiers will definitely arrive at the dock in time to board the ship after receiving the order."
"One word is determined."
Emilys reached out to high fives, and Hachi also swore in the name of the God of Hunting, and then took out a hundred thousand gold shields and handed them to him.
After talking about the matter, the atmosphere in the tent became relaxed.
Nahazi showed a cheerful side, constantly urging him to drink, and spoke humorously and witty. Even the red copper dragon Galadlos was attracted and occasionally spoke to him for a few words. He was very good at observing his expression and found that Ren did not want to talk to him more and could not grasp it correctly, so he was not too enthusiastic, but he did not neglect him.
Cindara even had a cold face and said nothing.
Emilys remembered Renn's words just now and pretended to be careless and asked, "Hazi, what's the situation with that airship outside? Which wizard from Pallas Floating City above?"
"There are several wizards on the airship."
Nahazi didn't think this was a secret and replied easily: "Palas regularly sent airships to collect taxes. It is said that there are four or five in total, and the wizards on the airships have been changing. We are just a Centaur tribe, so how dare you ask the origin of the wizard?"
There was a bit of yearning in his eyes, not knowing whether it was its power to the floating city or its power to the wizard, "This time it was a beautiful witch who claimed to be Lord Phyllis."
"Phylis?" Mobile::
An arrogant and domineering face appeared in front of Rennes.
"Your Earl knows Lord Phyllis?" Nahazi was stunned, and then said relieved: "I almost forgot that You You Youer Earl is from the Floating City of Wizelland, and it is normal for you to know Lord Pasla."
"I've seen each other before," said Renn lightly, "I'm very impressed by Phyllis."
"No wonder..." Nahazi suddenly realized and continued: "In addition to Lord Phyllis, there is also a legendary wizard named Rocanan on the airship. However, Lord Rocanan only showed up once and showed us the identity of Pallas Floating City, and then I never saw it."
He looked at Renn, "Her Count, are you going to say hello to them?"
"No need." Renn shook his head, "I'm not familiar with them. This time I came out to do a secret operation, and there are other things to do."
"I understand." Nahazi immediately understood and did not talk about the airship again.
After drinking and eating, Emilys stood up, declined Haqi's kindness to send him out, and left the big tent in a low-key manner.
The airship was also parked in the open space not far from the large tent.
Rennes had been listening to the sounds on the airship, and at this time he saw several tall guards in red armor standing on the deck of the airship, patrolling the pedestrians passing by under the airship.
They are the famous Red Flame Sword Guards.
The Duke of Red Stone created the Psychic Branch, and also combined the Iron Guard and the Flame Demon Swordsman to transform it, and cultivated the unique extraordinary profession of the Red Flame Sword Guard.
The Red Flame Sword Guard has both the defense of the Iron Guard and the attack power of the Demon Swordsman, but it requires a lot of resources, demon souls, enchanted armors, weapons, and has considerable requirements for talent. With the wealth of Pasla's floating city, it is impossible to provide too many Red Flame Sword Guards.
As far as Rennes knows, the number of Red Flame Sword Guards on the open surface of Pallas Floating City has never exceeded 500.
When the wizards of Pallas travel, they would bring Red Flame Sword Guards with them at a time.
This has almost become their standard.
Renn swept with his soul eye, and the several Red Flame Sword Guards on the airship deck all had the strength of a mid-level extraordinary person.
They fuse four to five demon souls, and each person's demon soul is the same. While having strong physical qualities, they obtain flame affinity elements and can attach fire elements to the sword to explode power. Except for the speed is not fast enough, there are no other disadvantages, and they are much stronger than ordinary extraordinary people.
The magic soul combination of Red Flame Sword Guard is Pallas's secret.
However, Renn saw through it at a glance. As long as he was willing, he could train a group of Red Flame Sword Guards, which was just time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost-effectiveness was too low.
"Don't get close to them." Rennes whispered.
Emilys understood it and walked out of Cass camp as usual, without attracting the attention of the Red Flame Sword Guards.
Renn did not go to see the airship, and a ball of iron balls that were only the size of a finger appeared on his hand.
The iron ball quickly deformed and lengthened, turning into a small shuttle-shaped dart.
Renn passed by a centaur tent, blocking the view of the Red Flame Sword Guard on the airship, raised his hand and bent his finger and bounced his fingers, and the dart shot silently into the sky.
The dart fell into a high altitude in a blink of an eye, and fell again in a few seconds, crossing a parabola, and shooting it on the airship's airbag with great accuracy. With the size of the dart, it is impossible to pierce the airbag, but it is stuck tightly on it and cannot fall off.
From beginning to end, no one noticed Renne's little movements.
A group of four left the Cas camp of the Zhuoken tribe. Emilys summoned the Phantom War Horse, and everyone rode on it and soon disappeared on the grassland. After dozens of miles away from the camp, Galadros and Cindara appeared in the form of a real dragon, carrying Rennes and Emilys to the north.
The Stano Mountains reappeared in front of you. As long as you cross the mountain, you will enter the territory of the orc tribe and head to the nest of the third dragon.
"Stop first." Ren said suddenly.
Galadros hovered high, and Cindara approached, and Emilys asked, "Ren, what's wrong?"
Renn looked back at the direction of the Zhuoken tribe and whispered: "You go to the deep mud swamp first. I have something to do to leave for a few days, and I will catch up later."
